Sayonara Self-Published Book...

- Not to be melodramatic about it, but I'm now in the process of ripping up and throwing my approximately 1,800 remaining copies of my self-published book, "The LL-Letters - by Lyle 宏 Saxon & E-Friends" (written in 1999 and published in 2001) into the garbage.

- I still believe in the concept that "There's profound in the mundane, and mundane in the profound", and I think there are a certain number of people out there who would enjoy reading the book, but I don't know how to reach them, and the physical size the 1,800 books are consuming in my small apartment has become an issue, so I've begun to (reluctantly) throw them away.
- I don't want to just put them, as-is, in the garbage though, so I'm first ripping the covers and first pages off (which I in turn rip up and throw away separately).
- And there's another looming issue (aside from not being able to sell them - or even give them away).  It's become increasingly difficult and expensive to throw things away, so I want to get rid of this physical burden before trash disposal rates go up.  Never mind the expression "They couldn't give them away!", that's now becoming "They couldn't afford to pay for them to be thrown away"!
- Naturally, I'm not going to throw all 1,800 remaining copies away, but I'll probably only keep two or three hundred of them.
 - ..... I was going to go on writing more about this, but the more I write, the more depressed I'm getting, so I'll stop here and get back to work on destroying my book.
